A night for “queers, straights and everyone in between”. That’s us sorted then. And, when you look at Wet Paint’s spinning wheel of tunes (Sleigh Bells, Pavement, Robyn, DJ Shadow…) that’s ticked all our musical boxes too. What’s not to like?

Launching on that oh-so-busy Pride weekend is a gamble, but if they stick to their musical guns, we’re there.
If you wanna go down for nowt, we’ve got two pairs of tickets to give away: drop us an email at [email protected] with the subject ‘Wet Paint’.
